Apparently on Dan Gaffney’s show on 105.9 FM downstate, insane teabagger Don Ayotte, who had tried to unseat Sussex County Councilwoman Joan Deaver in the 2012 election, and who has recently been involved in the Great Delaware Republican Civil War, has just announced that he is leaving the GOP and has joined the Independent Party of Delaware (IPOD). The reason for his leaving: that mean mean Frank Knotts.

And it is really a shame. Wolfgang Baumgartner, the head of IPOD, was just going on about special interests and used as an example the Monsanto bill, and I generally agree with him. He is going to be suprised to learn that Ayotte thinks any regulation of the private market to prevent Monsanto from killing people or to impose liability upon them is SOCIALISM!!!

@Wolfgang: Let me get this straight: People have mean things said about them, so they join a different political party? These are the same oh-so-tough guys who want to lead a revolution against the US government, and they can’t take being called names — accurate ones, too, like “moron” and “nut job.” You people give new meaning to the word “lame.”

If you’re going to perform as clowns, shouldn’t you sell tickets, instead of doing it in public for free?

“If you’re going to perform as clowns, shouldn’t you sell tickets, instead of doing it in public for free?”

It’s a personal principle that I am almost always civil and rarely write any disparaging remarks about anyone. But when I read something that causes me to chuckle (ok to be honest, laugh out loud) I gotta give the author props.

For what, pointing out that you and your “party” have the morals of snakes and the principles of the typical sociopath? Don Ayotte certainly does type, almost constantly, about the typranny of the government. Revolution is implicit. And you can’t libel a political “party,” even one as pathetic as yours.

By the way, when typing threats, it pays to check your syntax, so you don’t skip words in your spittle-induced rage. So come on, beat your tiny fists and stamp your tiny feet.

There is a major conceptual difference between armed insurrection and revolution. The only “revolution” in the IPoD is a creative,
scientific revolution — a new paradigm — in the spirit of
Thomas Kuhn. Naturally, I don’t expect a pack of collectivist/statist hyenas like the garbage mouths on DL
to remotely comprehend this point.

I comprehend enough to know that Thomas Kuhn assuredly wouldn’t want his periodic revolutions associated with the *decidedly* run of the mill (hint: collectivist! How creative! How revolutionary!) crackpottery of IPOD.

I welcome a “scientific revolution” in Delaware, let’s start with the embryonic stem cell research bill that the GOP stopped a few years ago. I’m sure you can get Don Ayotte and the rest of the Sheriff’s posse behind that, Wolfgang.

May I please have your radio ban on official WDEL stationary or are
you just farting off at the keyboard? You really don’t have the guts to debate in-depth anyway. If anyone is a fool, it’s you as you and your cronies seem incapable of engaging in intelligent dialog and DL types aren’t really the great advocates of the First Amendment that they claim to be.

As for coming down and spitting in my face, that’s just another idle immature threat. What uniform are you alluding to? You really need a thicker skin, a longer fuse and greater control of your reptilian paranoid reflexes as your interpretation of a rhetorical response to a false charge was automatically interpreted as a threat.

Aoine:

Where you twirling your revolver with one hand and typing your garbage with another? Don is an accomplished journalist and writer.
His material and command of the English language is light-years ahead of yours. What were you drinking?

cASSandra:

I doubt that you read “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” at any significant level of comphrension (if at all).

Anon:

If you knew anything about stem cells, you would realize that adult stem cells have more scientific potential than embryonic stem cells,
so, your argument is (as usual)irrelevant.

et.al.:

The rest of your chicken manure isn’t worth responding to.

The general garbage that is posted on DL by fourth and fifth-rate political hacks exemplifies why the country is currently in such sorry shape.

What else can we expect from Democrat and Republican machine politics as usual??? Don’t tell me. Let me guess.

It’s the DELAWARE WAY…..

GENERAL SAFETY TIP:

If you drink or do drugs, DON’T BLOG.
If you blog, DON’T DRINK OR DO DRUGS.

Screw off, little boy. Take your hobby elsewhere. Call me and see what happens if you don’t believe me.

You picked the wrong night to fuck with me, you pathetic little turd. Does your mommy still drive you around Sussex County, or did you finally learn how to do it yourself?

Rhetorical my ass. You threatened a lawsuit, with nothing but your own deserved powerless as motivation. You’ve fucked up a party that you had nothing to do with forming; all you’ve ever done with IPoD, founded by an actual progressive, Floyd McDowell, is turn it into a statewide laughingstock by offering it up as a platform to a pair of psychopaths.

Geezer, I hope all is well with your son. If there’s anything we can do…

Ignore these fools – unless it helps release stress.

As far as the new IPoD members… a quick stroll around the net reveals two names: Dr. Jahi Issa, former Delaware State University professor, and James Christina, the Libertarian Party candidate who ran against Senator Patti Blevins.

Anyone with a brain, reveiwing the sordid DL record will realize that the verbal aggression originated with you. Apparently, your level of tolerance is very low and you’re very good at name calling
in place of political discourse.

As for IPoD history, while I don’t claim to be a founder, per se, I
have been very active in its formation, platform, strategy, etc. In fact, I gave the party its name (instead of the less than memorable one originally proposed).

So, I’m banned from your show ??? BIG DEAL … You are obviously still ticked off about Protack, but he was not our biggest candidate selection mistake.

DL is just an Orwellian place for a bunch of pretentious nanny state socialists to rant, lie and rave. There is virtually no meaningful intellectual content present on this site.

As for you carrying out your threat to spit in my face, the legitimate question is: You and what army? Come back with a Panzer Division. Frankly, you, DL, Frankie Knotts and DR are getting mighty
boring.

Independents are the wave of the future. Both the Democrats and Republicans have failed to govern and the two sick excuses for parties and their hacks are running scared. America will be a much better place when they go the way of the Whigs and Federalists by being relegated to the dung heap of History.

As an Independent, I would like to state that Baumgart does not speak for this independent.

My general impression of the IPOD is that their independence is merely a means to distinguish themselves from both parties and has nothing to do with their place in the political spectrum (which is the far right fringe).

If you look at their politics, members, and associates they can hardly be called independents. In fact, I resent their use of the name.

I doubt that you read “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” at any significant level of comphrension (if at all).

So you would be surprised that my level of comprehension would include knowing when *comprehension* is misspelled? I’ve read enough of Kuhn to know that your crackpottery is, you know, crackpottery. But in your circle I’m sure it all sounds impressive, since they wouldn’t know, either.

Baumgart doesn’t speak for many genuine independents. His claim to fame is giving safe harbor to some of the wingnuttiest of the wingnuts and various other political misfits. The most attention IPOD ever gets is when DL points and laughs at it.

And another wingnut shows that his reading comprehension isn’t what he’s puffed up (and another bit of evidence that you’ve no clue about Kuhn) — I never claimed that you or anyone else spoke for ALL INDEPENDENTS. Neither did Dave.
